Dearest Karen,

This is wonderful news ! Like all of them, I nearly had tears in my eyes reading your e-mail ! Parang nanonood ako ng love story with a very very happy ending, the only difference - the characters are so real, kaibigan ko pa ang bida !

Karen you deserve every moment of happiness you are having right now.  You are such a wonderful person and you deserve only the very best !!

Perhaps like most of your friends,  I have wondered why you left the Philippines and your career but we all know the answer now. As you said it is all part of God's great plan !

All the very best to you and Louis and I'm sure you'll have a very meaningful wedding because you are so much in love - and please do keep it that way - forever !

Thank you for sharing the good news.  I will be praying not only for your wedding but for a lasting family life for both of you. Again, wishing you the best !

Love,

Dear Karen,

What a great surprise  ("I am in America" !) and what a fantastic prospect ("I am getting married" !), with an additional piece of good news ("with an Italian-American"). Really, God in leading the lives of His children is using unexpected and original methods! Don't you think so ?  Thank you for inviting me to your wedding. I wish I could. By that time I should be undergoing my exploring expedition to Australia in the footsteps of Father Tarditi (by the way if you go to Italy, do not miss the chance to  pay him a visit at Rapallo, Genova).

I do pray that all your dreams may come true.
